Ranch Potato Salad
Description
This salad starts by boiling salted baby potatoes until they are just tender. While still warm, they are cut into halves or quarters and tossed gently with a few tablespoons of ranch dressing and salt, then covered and refrigerated to chill. Once cooled, more ranch dressing is added along with sliced spring onions, cooked and crumbled bacon, and chopped chives. Freshly cracked black pepper is sprinkled for a slight bite.
The dressing coats the potatoes smoothly, providing a creamy, herbed flavor balanced by the smoky bacon and sharp green onions. Chilling allows flavors to develop and textures to firm. This salad can be served immediately after mixing or kept refrigerated until ready to serve. Additional dressing can be added right before serving to refresh the coating if needed.

- 1/2 cup ranch dressing get recipe here, use more or less to taste

Instructions
